Fujitsu has announced the closure of its operations in Ireland and plans to compensate victims of wrongful convictions. The company's head of Ireland, Adam Trill, stated that a skeleton staff will remain to fulfill existing contracts until their natural expiry. The decision is attributed to Fujitsu's new profit margin target and Ireland's failure to meet it. Around 200 people were estimated to work for Fujitsu in Ireland.
Hundreds of those Post Office employees were wrongly convicted of fraud, some attempted suicide, with sadly four cases resulting in death, and 33 have since died and are unable to see justice served. Fujitsu has said it will compensate victims. Adam Trill, Fujitsu 's head of Ireland , told staff at the Dublin-based HQ last night that operations in Ireland are ceasing.:"Skeleton staff will remain to fulfill the existing contracts until their natural expiry. No new bids are allowed.
A lot of people are being made redundant, except some in the Delivery teams to keep the lights on for the next year or two.The official reason ventured is that Fujitsu has now set a 10 percent profit margin target across the group. Ireland was below this figure and so is no longer seen as a"viable business."Fujitsu gets $1B market cap haircut after TV disaster drama airsIndustry estimates suggest around 200 people worked for Fujitsu in Ireland, a figure the company has not officially confirme
